Do I need monitor, mouse, keyboard?

None at all - that what I do.

Well nearly.  The bios on some machones halts the boot process during
post unless a keyboard is plugged in.  So one of my older machines just
has an old keyboard plugged in.

I suggest you remove all but the monitor and check it still reboots OK.
If it does, the monitor can then be safely removed.
